Wang Yueying got up early in the morning and moved the spring bamboo shoots in the space to the basket, looking at the basket full of spring bamboo shoots as if they had just been dug out of the soil, and they still exuded the fragrance of grass and earth. Looking at the sky outside, there was still some time to leave, Wang Yueying sprinkled some spiritual spring water on the spring bamboo shoots and turned around to go to the kitchen to make breakfast.
I simply made a fried rice with spring bamboo shoots and wild vegetables and a bowl of egg drop soup, and as soon as the food was brought to the hall, I saw Xun'er and the pavilion sitting side by side at the door, with their little hands dragging their chins and looking out of the door. Wang Yueying smiled and looked at the two little door gods: "What are you doing?" ”
"Mother." Xun'er turned her head and shouted when she heard Wang Yueying's voice.
The pavilion's little hands supported the ground, pushed it hard to stand up, ran to Wang Yueying's side and said, "Mother, when is the car coming?" ”
Only then did Wang Yueying know that the two babies were waiting for the old grandson's ox cart to go to the town. Last night, Yang Dashan made an appointment with Lao Sun Tou to go to the town this morning, Wang Yueying saw that they were all his own people, so he planned to take the two children with him, Xun'er and the pavilion knew the news and couldn't sleep excitedly, and kept chattering to ask Wang Yueying what fun was there in the town, or Wang Yueying pretended to be angry and warned them that they were not allowed to go tomorrow if they didn't sleep again, so they slept honestly.
Seeing that the pavilion, which usually likes to sleep lazily, also got up early with her brother to get dressed and washed, and sat at the door waiting for the ox cart to come, Wang Yueying touched her head with a smile: "The time hasn't come yet, we will come over after breakfast." ”
"Okay, then let's eat." Hearing her mother's answer, the pavilion hurriedly climbed onto the stool and began to eat. Although Xun'er didn't say anything, the speed of eating was obviously much faster than usual.
"Yueying, are you alright?" As soon as the mother and son had finished eating, they heard Cuihua shouting outside.
"Eh, alright, alright, I'll move things out, wait a minute." Wang Yueying packed up the dishes and chopsticks and brought them into the kitchen, ready to pick out the basket.
Song Hai took Xiao Hei to open the courtyard door and walked in: "I'll help you choose." As he spoke, he planned to go to the kitchen.
"No, no, you're still hurt, I'll do it myself." Wang Yueying put down the dishes and chopsticks and waved her hand.
The two were still polite, Yang Dashan had already rushed to the kitchen and came out with a basket: "Let's go, you're welcome, the sun will have to go down later." Ha ha. ”
"Yueying, let's go to Piaoxianglou later, and let Dashan and Song Hai go to the East Market to sell pork." As soon as Wang Yueying climbed into the oxcart, Cuihua took her hand.
Wang Yueying thought about it, it is not good for so many people to go to Piaoxiang Mansion together, and there are more tasks today, so it is a better choice for the soldiers to be divided into two ways, so she said: "Brother Dashan, Brother Song, I will let Xun'er and the pavilion go to Dongshi with you later, it is not convenient to take it to the restaurant, we will deal with it and come to you." ”
"It's okay, it's inconvenient for you to talk about business and take your children with you, so the two little ones will follow us." Yang Dashan said.
"Xun'er and the pavilion will listen to their uncles later, you know?" Wang Yueying confessed, "You are not allowed to run around, my mother will take care of things and pick you up." ”
"Mother, don't worry, we will be obedient, and I will take care of my sister." Xun'er took Guanguan's hand and reassured, and Guanguan kept nodding on the side.
Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and it didn't take long to arrive at Yuanhe Town. Song Hai and Yang Dashan carried the wild boar and the two children to Dongshi, and the old grandson sent Wang Yueying and Cuihua to the door of Piaoxiang Building.
As soon as Wang Yueying wanted to go in to find the shopkeeper, she saw the man in black get off the carriage with two small servants that day.
"Master Cai." Wang Yueying hurriedly greeted her, she didn't know how to call each other before, and chatted with Miao Cuihua about this Piaoxiang Building on the way, only to know that the man in black was the owner of Piaoxiang Building, Cai Hong. Piaoxianglou is a famous restaurant in the town, and its owner Cai Hong is also a capable figure. Legend has it that he studied under the first chef of Beijing, the chef of Tianxianglou, and he learned a good cooking skill after more than ten years of cold and summer. After saying hello, Wang Yueying introduced herself, "I'm from Hetou Village, you bought our vegetables at the last market, and you said that you would send them over, and we brought some new dishes today." ”
Cai Hong recognized her before she got out of the carriage, and the last time the woman said that the method of buying one get two free and delivering to the door gave him some inspiration, and now Piaoxianglou has begun to accept the scheduled delivery of meals from some large households. This unique way is loved by everyone, especially those ladies and ladies who can't go out often, have the opportunity to taste the food outside, and order from time to time.
But there are not many specialties in Piaoxianglou, and Cai Hong is also worried that this freshness will not last long. Seeing this woman appear in front of him again, I couldn't help but have some expectations, and when I heard her say that there was a new dish, this expectation was even more obvious.
"Go in and talk." Although he kept guessing in his heart, as a businessman who has been in the mall for a long time, these will not be lightly affected by his feelings.
When the two little guys behind him saw it, they helped carry the basket full of spring bamboo shoots and followed in, Wang Yueying and Cuihua glanced at each other, and they also followed into the gate. It was not time to eat, there was no one in the restaurant, and Cai Hong took them to the backyard. There is a row of side houses in the backyard, and there is a small pavilion in the yard, Cai Hong walked to the pavilion and sat down, and the two little servants also put the basket in the yard.
"Forgive me for being rude, I should have invited the two of you to the private room to talk in detail, only to see that the things in the basket are not the usual dishes, and I think I need two instructions on how to cook." Cai Hong's meaning is very clear, we haven't reached the time to talk about business yet, and if you want to talk about business, you have to see how things are doing.
"Master Cai is polite, this ingredient is called spring bamboo shoots, which was discovered by the ancestors of the slave family." Wang Yueying replied, "Spring bamboo shoots are not only as white as jade but also tender in meat, if the master doesn't mind, the slave family can cook a few dishes for the son to try." "Slave family. Wang Yueying spoke like this for the first time, and she felt very awkward in her heart.
"Yes, you can use everything in the kitchen." Cai Hong called the shopkeeper to help, stood up and said, "I'm out of company first." With that, he turned around and left.
"Under the surname Cai, I don't know what to call the two ladies?" Shopkeeper Cai has been following Cai Hong for a long time, so he naturally can see that the owner attaches great importance to them, and asks them with his hand.
"Shopkeeper Cai is polite, just call me Yueying." Seeing the appearance of Cai's shopkeeper with a spring breeze on his face, Wang Yueying also hurriedly replied.
"My name is Cuihua." Cuihua also returned the salute.
"I'm tired of the two ladies." Shopkeeper Cai took them into the kitchen, "Master Tu, come here, these two ladies are going to cook a few dishes here, you can cooperate." ”
"Well, the two ladies can call me if they need anything." Master Tu readily agreed, it seems that he is the chef here, Wang Yueying smiled and said politely: "Then trouble Master Tu." ”
Craftsmen pay attention to confidentiality, and so do chefs, their own specialty dishes will not be awarded to others, and Master Tu is not a person who likes to steal from his master to learn art, and after introducing the location of various side dishes and seasonings to Wang Yueying, he went to the side to direct the apprentices to work, and the apprentices were not allowed to look at this side, and they didn't even look at this side.
Wang Yueying didn't care if others peeked here, discussed the division of labor with Cuihua, and began to do it in an orderly manner, and after a while, a fresh fragrance came out, Wang Yueying made a total of three dishes, spring bamboo shoots white mixed chicken, wolfberry spring bamboo shoots shredded meat and southern meat spring bamboo shoots. They are all modern hotel dishes, Wang Yueying specially found these three dishes from the recipe last night and conducted research.
"Master Tu, I've done it here, please help me find a tray to load it."
Shopkeeper Cai and Master Tu came over, "Two ladies, this dish is really fragrant, you can see that it tastes good." Cai's shopkeeper saw these three dishes on his eyes, he has been a shopkeeper for more than 20 years and has eaten a lot of special dishes, these three dishes have never been seen, this color and fragrance have accounted for the top, think about the taste will not be bad, and this arrangement is unheard of and unseen.
"Yes, you can know its taste when you smell its fragrance and look at its color. These dishes are excellent. Master Tu praised these three dishes from the bottom of his heart.
"The two ladies will go with me to the private room." Shopkeeper Cai made a gesture of please, Wang Yueying and Cuihua cleaned up and followed him to the private room.
Cai Hong was also stunned when he saw these three dishes, and he thought that the peasant village woman would taste good if she could make them. Wang Yueying's method of arranging the plate surprised him, and he raised his chopsticks and tasted a little of each dish, and the taste was unexpectedly good. Spring bamboo shoots are mixed with white **, the meat is delicious, and the bamboo shoots are tender and fragrant, which is deeply loved by it.
Cai Hong took several bites before he reacted, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he stopped his chopsticks in embarrassment: "Shopkeeper Cai, Master Tu, you also come over to taste it." ”
Although Shopkeeper Cai and Master Tu had long guessed that the taste would not be bad, it was still beyond their imagination, especially the tender taste of this bamboo shoot had completely conquered them. While reluctantly putting down the chopsticks, I sighed and admired that the taste was really good.
Cai Hong saw that they looked like they were captured by the food, and waved his hand to let them out. "I don't know how the lady plans to sell these spring bamboo shoots?" Straight to the point, he asked.
Cuihua had no idea, looked up at Wang Yueying, Wang Yueying glanced at her, nodded to express reassurance, walked forward and said: "This spring bamboo shoot is a seasonal dish, and it will be available now until May." Because it is more difficult to dig and needs to be fresh, the price will be higher than that of green vegetables and radish. ”
"This is natural, in this way, you send us two baskets of spring bamboo shoots every three days, and the price will be calculated at 20 yuan a catty. In addition, I also bought the recipe for these dishes, and you can't sell them to others. "Although spring bamboo shoots are just vegetarian dishes, they are expensive and novel, and Cai Hong's price is reasonable.
"I have no problem with the price of spring bamboo shoots, but I can't be sure of this amount, it depends on how much we dig, but I can guarantee that I will give you as much as I dig, and I will never sell it to others." Wang Yueying has no objection to the price of spring bamboo shoots, and eggs can only be sold for five cents a catty, the price of this spring bamboo shoots is already very high, "But this recipe is my family's ancestral, if it weren't for the difficulty of life now, I wouldn't have sold it." If you want, it's one hundred and two, and I have a total of five dishes here."
Cuihua couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Wang Yueying ask for one hundred taels a piece, these five dishes were five hundred taels. In fact, Wang Yueying's heart is also bottomless, one hundred taels is almost equivalent to 10,000 yuan in modern times, 10,000 yuan is nothing in modern times, but now at this time, money is very valuable, you must know that your family is only 6 taels of silver in total. But it's better to bargain at a high point.
Cai Hong didn't show much surprise when he heard that Wang Yueying asked for one hundred taels, he could sell this dish for twenty or thirty taels of silver, so he nodded and agreed: "Then it's decided, but the two ladies have to sign a contract and can't sell the recipe to others." ”
Wang Yueying didn't expect him to agree so lightly, so she nodded stunned and said, "Okay, but we can only guarantee that we won't sell it to others, and we can't guarantee that others will not make similar dishes." With that, he took out the recipe he copied last night from his sleeve and handed it to Cai Hong.
Cai Hong called Cai's shopkeeper over and told him to go to the account room to get the silver, give the recipe to Master Tu and let him go to the kitchen to explore. Not long after, Shopkeeper Cai took four silver tickets of one hundred taels and one hundred and two taels of silver and walked in: "Yueniang, those spring bamboo shoots are a total of 100 catties, here are five hundred and two taels, you can take a look." ”
Wang Yueying took the silver and said that there was no problem, and signed a contract with Cai Hong. Preparing to go to the kitchen to guide Master Tu to cook a few dishes, seeing someone bringing food in, Wang Yueying asked, "Shopkeeper Cai, do you collect wild things here?" ”
"Harvest, why do you have wild things to sell? If there is, just send it. Shopkeeper Cai said with a smile that there are often customers who come and go from the north to the south in the store who want to eat some wild things, but wild things are relatively rare and not available every day.
"The neighbor who just came with me is selling wild boar meat in the East Market, I'll let them deliver it." Wang Yueying said with a smile when she heard them collect wild things
"Okay, you can just let them send it to the backyard." Shopkeeper Cai agreed with a smile.
"Sister Cuihua, you tell Brother Dashan about them, I'll wait for you here." Wang Yueying discussed with Cuihua, and Cuihua nodded and went out to Dongshi.
"Shopkeeper Cai, I'm really bothering you this time." Wang Yueying took out two taels of silver and handed it to Shopkeeper Cai. "I'll have to trouble you in the future, and I want you to take care of it more."
Shopkeeper Cai smiled, and he wanted to put down the idea of refusal, but he only accepted one or two pieces of silver and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, if there are good things in the future, just send them over." ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper Cai." Wang Yueying said happily.
